Nintendo should start manufacturing DS systems again. Reprint old games. Make new games, too. The Switch is popular, but I think a portable system that actually fits in your pocket is something people still want.

Despite the headline-grabbing nature of this single freak incident, no one died; none of the injuries sustained were life threatening. Whereas 300 people died in car crashes in Houston in 2024. Deaths so regular they go virtually unnoticed. Public transit remains safer than driving by every measure.

I'm not a fan of thought crimes, but I think it should be illegal to have thoughts like "prepayment penalty" and to say those thoughts out loud
Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

I don't think Walz is likely to deploy NG on ICE officers. That's a fair criticism. But from a practical standpoint it has also injected that idea into the public discourse as something acceptable and necessary for Serious Democrats to consider. This is probably useful.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

Incapable of (or unwilling to) learn
Recent statements from political strategists and Democratic Party insiders seem to suggest that the party’s strategy for the 2026 midterm races — particularly in hotly contested swing districts — will be to focus on economic concerns rather than on holding President Donald Trump accountable.
Polls Undercut Dem Strategy to Avoid Discussing Trump Impeachment in Midterms
Democratic strategists are telling swing district candidates to focus on the economy and to avoid discussing Trump.

Using rules against gambling to censor criticism of gambling while selling gambling ads is straight up machiavellian and kafkaesque

YouTube is upholding the removal of my videos about gambling on the false grounds violating its “sale of illicit goods” policy.
This is tantamount to a false allegation, right? Especially with my professional rep, slinging that reasoning around is potentially harmful.
Either way I’m disgusted.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc?
He had no idea.
